Chapter 83 Visiting the operating room
Director Tan, master and apprentice, have been here several times, and have also visited the operating room, but that was just a quick glance, this time we want to take a closer look.
The three of them were standing near the operating room just now.
Director Tian enthusiastically introduced the situation of the operating rooms: "Our Department of Orthopedics currently has eight operating rooms, three for Traumatology and Orthopedics, two for spine and joints, and one for Sports Medicine. Four of these eight operating rooms are main operating rooms. Each ward has a main operating room. Our main operating room in the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics is this one. It has a classroom and a storage room. Ordinary operating rooms only have a storage room. ”
"Well, the hardware of Sanbo Hospital is first-class!" Tan Boyun said, realizing that he was wrong, he immediately added: "The hardware technology is first-class!"
Tian Yuan pointed to the other two operating rooms and continued: "The two operating rooms here are also from our Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics. They are ordinary operating rooms."
These are similar to Appendix 2. There is an additional demonstration classroom in the main operating room of Sanbo.
"How many C-arm machines are there?" Tan Boyun is more concerned about this.
Director Han gave a general introduction last time, but this time it is better to understand it in detail so that we can start work in the future.
Some hospitals have many surgeries and few C-arm machines, so there is often an embarrassing scramble for C-arm machines.
"There are three C-arm machines, two new ones and one old one, one on our side, one on the spine side, a G-arm on the spine side, and an old one for joints and sports medicine. They have less opportunities to use C-arm machines." Tianyuan introduced it carefully.
"Where's the microscope?" Dr. Zhong asked.
Tianyuan said: "The microscopes are from Carl Zeiss, and there are three of them. Come and take a look."
Tianyuan led them through the main operating room and to the storage room to see that the patient who had just been operated on had woken up from anesthesia and was ready to go to bed.
Dr. Zhong happened to pass by Yang Ping and bowed slightly as a greeting. It was a bit embarrassing: "Let's get familiar with the equipment in the operating room."
Director Tan also waved his hand and said hello: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Tian Yuan introduced: "This is Dr. Yang! I'm taking Director Tian and Dr. Zhong to look at the microscope."
Yang Ping immediately stood up and shook hands with them: "It's okay, it's not hard, you will get to know each other gradually."
After saying hello, Tianyuan took them to the storage room, where a microscope was placed.
"Not long after I bought this microscope, I have completed the replantation of five severed fingers of a one-month-old baby and the five-segment replantation of an adult's upper limb. So far, nearly two hundred cases of severed finger replantation have been completed. The microscope next door is built I bought it when I was in the hospital and completed our hospital’s first free toe thumb reconstruction, fingertip reconstruction, and three-stage replantation of five fingers on one hand in children.” Tian Yuan said that every piece of equipment has a story.
"Who usually does microsurgery?" Dr. Zhong adjusted the eyepiece and used the microscope alone. It was the same as in their hospital, but this microscope actually performed replantation of amputated fingers of babies.
"Normally, I, Xiao Yang, and Xiao Song all do it, but they do it more. Young people can't grow up without surgery and we can't handle it. That's why Director Han came on stage." Tian Yuan said.
"This ultrasonic bone knife is good!" Tan Boyun's sharp eyes saw an ultrasonic bone knife inside.
This thing is very easy to use. When cutting bones, it will not damage the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. Its cutting is selective and only eats hard ones, not soft ones.
"The ultrasonic osteotome is used more frequently on the spine, but we rarely use it. These equipments are shared by major orthopedics departments. Last time, Director Han performed an orthopedic surgery for an old pelvic fracture malunion, and he brought the ultrasonic osteotome over. I'm leaving it for now, I haven't sent it over yet." Tianyuan opened the protective cover covering the ultrasonic bone knife.
"Your equipment is very sophisticated." Tan Boyun felt reassured that he had everything he needed.
"It's because our equipment is very sophisticated!" Tian Yuan corrected with a smile.
"Yes, yes, our equipment is very sophisticated." Tan Boyun immediately changed his words and laughed.
"The approval procedures for our equipment have been greatly simplified. The large-scale equipment in Appendix 2 is entirely funded by government financial funds. Sanbo is supported by the Overseas Chinese Foundation. This foundation not only supports the purchase of equipment, but is also responsible for supporting doctors' overseas training and scientific research funds. Our laboratory at the Institute of Orthopedics is applying for grants from the foundation.”
Although they are all hospitals directly under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Department of Health, several affiliated hospitals of Nandu Medical University are not comparable to the three hospitals in terms of strength, pedigree and history.
Although Han Jiangong was born in the Sixth Hospital of Shanghai and was a representative figure of the young group in the orthopedics field at that time, he was very important. However, his personal weight cannot replace the brand power of the hospital, and the hospital's brand needs time to develop.
The comprehensive strength of Annex 1 and Annex 2 is like an overlord in G city. Annex 3 is a tumor specialist hospital and is well-known throughout the country. Annex 4 is an orthopedics specialist hospital. It is newly built and not very well-known. Although it is an orthopedic hospital, its reputation is not as good as that of Annex 1. Orthopedics in the first and second division should develop well in the future.
Other hospitals can only compete in the second tier. The Provincial People's Hospital and G City People's Hospital belong to the second tier. The Provincial People's Hospital is better than the Municipal People's Hospital. They both have more patients and a larger volume of surgeries. Their volume is not very different from Appendix 1 and Appendix 2. Big, but what is worse is its academic status, which cannot be compared with Nandu Department at all.
The Affiliated Hospital of Nandu College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and the Municipal Central Hospital of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine form their own system and are also in the second echelon.
The Nandu Department, the People's Department, and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, the three factions coexist peacefully and have a balanced structure. Each has its own traditional territory.
However, Sanbo Hospital does not belong to any faction, and it is located in a remote location. When the hospital was built, people from the Nandu Department and the People's Department were transferred, but few people were willing to come, and many of them were recruited from other places.
Therefore, Sanbo has been unknown and has not been noticed by these hospitals. In recent years, these hospitals have suddenly raised their eyebrows, and Sanbo has actually developed.
In this medical situation, when Dr. Tan Boyun and Dr. Zhong were transferred to Sanbo Hospital, they naturally felt condescending and superior at first. People who work in technology are naturally arrogant. After looking at the main operating room, look at other operating rooms.
"Director Tan, this way, come over here and take a look." Tian Yuan guided him and walked to a closed door at the end of one side of the passage.
Director Tian pressed the password, and the door opened automatically. There was a cave inside, which was completely different from the operating room I just visited. I was in the operating room last time, but I didn’t visit this place.
"These are newly built multi-functional operating rooms. They have been completed and accepted and will be put into use soon. Look!"
Looking through the door and looking through the small window, this operating room is at least several times larger than the usual operating rooms. There are various sizes of screens and free arms, as well as some instruments placed inside.
"Surgical robot? Da Vinci!" Dr. Zhong was surprised.
Director Tan also became interested. The automatic door opened and several people went to look inside the operating room. There were several ancillary rooms next to this large operating room, such as an operating room, a storage room, and a teaching room.
"Is it the Da Vinci surgical robot?" Director Tan confirmed.
"Our hospital also bought a da Vinci, but it is only used by the urology department of the general thoracic department and cannot be used by our orthopedics department." Director Tan felt a little regretful.
The Da Vinci surgical robot cannot currently perform orthopedic surgeries. The cost of this surgical robot is very high, with a unit price of 10 to 20 million. When performing surgery, a start-up fee of 20,000 is required.
"This is a direct gift from the Overseas Chinese Foundation. We prefer domestic products when we buy them ourselves," Tian Yuan explained.
Robotic surgery is a new technology in surgery in recent years. It is a high-precision technology that leads the trend. At present, the ones that have done more include Zhengzhou University Affiliated One, Zhejiang University Affiliated One, and 301. There are currently only a few dozen installed units of this robot in China. Generally, For external thoracic, abdominal and urinary use.
"It's a pity that Leonardo da Vinci cannot perform orthopedic surgery." Professor Tan was a little disappointed.
"Director Tan, let's go to the surgery room next door!"
There are several multi-functional operating rooms in this row, and several people went to another operating room.
"Tianji?" Tianji is a domestic surgical robot that can be used in orthopedics.
Tan Boyun's eyes shone, and Director Tian said: "We bought this ourselves, and it was also the foundation's money. This robot is actually no worse than the imported one. There is only one for now."
"This is a good thing, a good thing!" Director Tan couldn't put it down, stroking the robotic arm and looking around the operating bed.
Da Vinci is an American product, but it cannot perform orthopedic surgery. Made in China by Tianji, it can perform orthopedic surgeries and is the only orthopedic robot in the world that can perform surgeries on the entire spine, pelvis and limbs.
However, these high-precision things are not perfect. Machines always make mistakes. In a certain country, a robot was used for heart surgery. The machine made a mistake and punctured the patient's aorta. The patient died a week after the operation.
The surgical robot is actually not a real robot. The name can easily mislead it, as if it can perform surgeries on its own. It is more appropriate to call it a remote surgery system, which means that the doctor does not need to be on the operating table, but far away from the operating table, watching the video on the screen and remotely controlling the robotic arm to complete the operation.
In the final analysis, it is still operated by doctors, but the stability and precision of robotic arms are higher than those of human hands.
This process is similar to that of a remote control toy excavator.
"These operating rooms have lead walls to protect against radiation. That side will be the operating room, and the operating table will be located there."
Director Tan came to the operating room, touched the display screen, and sat on the chair on the operating console to feel it.
It’s such a good platform. It’s the right choice to transfer to Sanbo. In Appendix 2, I was overwhelmed and couldn’t help but wonder when I could make a difference. A sense of ambition surged in my chest.
"Will this robot be used exclusively by our orthopedics department when it arrives?" Tan Boyun could not restrain his excitement.
"Currently, the general orthopedics department is sharing it. We plan to purchase one more. Then the trauma orthopedics department will have one unit and other departments will share one unit. Director Tan can show off his skills," Tian Yuan said.
"Our hospital has a weak foundation and started late. We must catch up and our equipment cannot fall behind." Tian Yuan said modestly.
"Well, you need a good knife to chop wood." Director Tan said.
There is also a sports medicine multifunctional operating room next door.
Director Tan has no interest in those. He is engaged in orthopedics of trauma.
Do a good job in your career from now on!
Tan Boyun thought, feeling good.
Thank you Qianqian Junzi for your N+1 round of rewards! Thanks for the reward of relaxing and relaxing again! The third round of recommendation is in the fierce competition. Thank you for your strong support. Currently, we can only maintain two updates per day, and we are actively preparing for three updates per day.
